2019 4th Ashes Test 2019 Old Trafford

[Hawks1994]

Their songs were fun for the first 10 minutes of the first test

Now it's like that same stupid joke from that weird uncle

 

[yakka man]

Who is nervous? The new ball will be key.

 

[Jivlain]

Why don't they have HotSpot these days?

 

[danielnajdek]

Another test lead wasted. In the box seat for 3 tests only to win 1 and lose another with a draw here

You do realise there's still 20 mins left in this session and another session right.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Bowl one at his toes!

 

[Badesumofu]

Another test lead wasted. In the box seat for 3 tests only to win 1 and lose another with a draw here

There's 40 overs to go, Jesus. Calm down.

 

[RookiePick]

Hazelwood not really firing here

 

[Crankitup]

Time for Hazelwood to chip in here.

 

[Santana]

Yes they will!! 40 overs still to go! You may as well go to bed.

They are not going to get the 40 overs in

 

[BACCS]

You didn't feel the ball changed direction as a result of crashing into Overton's bat?

Certainly wasn’t obvious at all with those replays

 

[Doggy doo doo]

Another test lead wasted. In the box seat for 3 tests only to win 1 and lose another with a draw here

Yep, will get within bees dick twice then lose next test what a waste

 

[omarlittle1]

Looking like we're going to **** this up again...

 

[ChampRevesby]

Get Starc on now

 

[A Pom]

Give it a rest. I have just trawled through 30 hours of cricket and come up with completely different figures to you.

#fakenews

Please don't resort to false information.

Spoiler: Favoured England

Pat Cummins to Buttler, no run, another decision sent upstairs. This one is for lbw and Australia have asked for a review. The impact is in line but it is just clipping the stumps. Umpire's call it is in the end and Buttler will survive. This one was much straight from Pat Cummins and it nipped back in too, missed the inside edge of Buttler and struck him on the pads. Just a tad high!

Pat Cummins to Denly, no run, big shout for LBW. Aleem Dar isn't convinced and Paine gestures to Cummins that it is high. Nip-backer and very similar to the one Denly survived in the first session off Hazlewood, beaten on the inside edge and struck on the back leg. HawkEye shows it to be clipping the bails - umpire's call

Broad to Head, out Lbw!! Gone. "Broad to left-handers again," gushes Nasser Hussain on air. Well, he's making it a habit, ain't he? Reward for the pacer as Head walks back. It was full, slanted in with the angle and Head played all around it. Totally missed the line of the ball and gets struck low on the pad. Umpire Kumar Dharmasena's finger went up in a flash and Broad knew it was out straightaway. HawkEye indicates that it's clipping the outer half of leg-stump, would've stayed as umpire's call if he had reviewed it. Head did walk up towards Smith to take his suggestion but didn't take the gamble. Just the wicket England wanted this morning. Head lbw b Broad 19(22) [4s-3]

Jofra Archer to Labuschagne, out Lbw!! England are ****-a-hoop. They have broken past the first barrier - Marnus Labuschagne. First failure for him in the series. It was a peach from Archer. Good length ball nips in late and beats the forward prod of Labuschagne, struck him around the kneeroll in front of middle stump. HawkEye showed it to be hitting the leg-bail. But Labuschagne still decided to review and is lucky that it was umpire's call else Australia would have lost both their reviews. There was some words exchanged as well as Labuschagne was walking off the field. The atmosphere is heated at Old Trafford. Labuschagne lbw b Jofra Archer 11(25) [4s-2]

Buttler in 61st over today.

Spoiler: Favoured Australia

Broad to Head, no run, big shout for LBW. Umpire Wilson is not convinced. Long discussion between Root, Broad and others. They ponder until the last second before aborting the review decision. Angled in from round the wicket and Head fails to meet with the clip, rapped on the front flap. Height was an issue and the angle might have taken it down leg. Ball-tracking shows umpire's call

Jack Leach to Wade, no run, England review umpire Wilson: So Wade was on the walk across his stumps to flick, but the spin on this one gets a little too big to beat his bat and rap him on the back of the back leg's thigh pad. And it stays umpire's call on the ball clipping the outside of leg-stump

Jack Leach to Labuschagne, no run, a dancing out bat-pad-stuck defence. It's clearly bat first though on the replays -- but there's a little too much doubt in it to get the appeal in their favour, and neither is there enough to take it upstairs. Anyway, Labuschagne's on an umpire's call on the non-reviewed ball tracking with the point of impact

Stokes to Labuschagne, no run, England will retain their review. The big booming inswinger and Labuschagne did not spot it, he was initially looking to leave and by the time he saw the ball swing in, it had already struck him on the pad. Erasmus thought it was swinging too much and would miss leg-stump, ball-tracking showed it to be just kissing the leg-pole

Starc to Bairstow, out Lbw!! Bairstow given leg-before, he reviews. Height the only thing that can save him. It's umpire's call on ball-tracking, clipping the bails, so Bairstow will have to walk back. Wicket straightaway after the drinks break as the change of ends works for Starc. Back of a length, skids in from round the wicket and traps Bairstow in the crease, playing across the line of it. Was hit just above the knee-roll, but it didn't have much further to travel, which was enough of a factor for umpire Dharmasena to rule in favour of Australia. Bairstow will be really disappointed. It wasn't anything off the pitch that did him. Just a poor shot. Bairstow lbw b Starc 25(61) [4s-1]

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

3rd umpires all over the world need to realise that to see a deflection of a ball in slow motion actually makes it harder to see.

Play the deflection in real speed and its easier to see.

Having said that, that 3rd umpire needs to be sacked for life. Conpletely incompetent.

 

[Mulldogg]

This big log has a first class ton and 9 50’s. No mug unfortunately

 

[Badesumofu]

They are not going to get the 40 overs in

Unless the light gets bad, they will. Final day means the overs get bowled.

 

[JackOutback]

Four wickets feels a long way off right now.

And get one, and it will feel like just a matter of time. There’s no Ben Stokes here, they aren’t going to hold out for 40 overs. Wouldn’t mind a sleep though.

 

[Eagleboy68]

There's 40 overs to go, Jesus. Calm down.

Mate we aren't going to get 40 overs in.
Bad light is going to stop play after 20 after tea.

It's over

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

What happened to hotspot?

 

[arden station]

Still have a new ball to come.

 

[carlton2dabone]

There was an easy way to verify of the ball hit pad or got diverted by the bat.. if the seem stated straight all the way into pad then there was no bat involved.

Unfortunately they can’t even use good enough cameras to capture as many frames as possible

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Why don't they have HotSpot these days?

Because it was failing regularly. Edges showing nothing, sun glints showing like edges.

 

[scottywiper]

Surely these pricks can't arse it again. I think it's time for Starc to hit tail.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

That referral was dumb.

Looked outside the line to me and if they'd checked that when they were having issues finding an edge or not then they'd have saved a few minutes.
